keeps a small store at the corner of Maryland ave-

and cigars in the store on sunday, but they We're
not able to swear to the ownership; but the tesf-
mony OF Lieut.. Kelly satisfied the court on that
point.
Henry Clay Fowler. resident OF East Washing
tOn about 40 years old, testified that he was the
owner OF the business, and was crOSS-examined by
Mr.. Padgett, and proved very hard to pin down
to any statement. He said he didn't exactly buy

Finally he admitted that he married Mrs. Fegan in
Rockville, and when asked, whereabouts In
Rockvile?" answered. "Corner OF Sd street and

tives have searched the country over, but have
been unable to find him."
The judge said he did not think the marriage
had been proven by this witness. fine OF S:,5

Using a Stove for a Safe.
From the Omaha Bee.

One evening, recenr,iy, G. M. Vande-
soil, a resident of South Omaha, had
occasion to bring home with him an
unusually large amount OF money
and had no safe in which to put it for
the night. While trying to find suit
able place, his eye lit on the cold
stove, and acting on the impulse of
the moment, he put the cash down
into the ire-box in the ashes, conf
dent that his greenbacks would be
safe from all nocturnal ramblers.
During the night he was attacked by
something like a collie, and his wife
had to get up, start a fire, and pre-
pare some relief for his pain.
While lying on his bed grooming, he
caught a sniff of burning leather. In
a moment his aches were forgotten
and he rushed to the stove, grabbed
the poker frantically. and soon
brought forth the book and contents
in red and gray embers. His collie
troubled him no more that night.

That economy is q great revenue.
That not every one who dances is
glad.
That it is as natural to die as to be

That the road is never long to a

That we have all forgotten more

That busy lives, like busy waters,
are generally pure.
That labor disgraces no man, while
man disgraces labor.
That strongest men are often the
most tender-hearted.
That life is too short to be spent in
minding other peoples business.
That he who buys hath need of q
hundred eyes, and he who sells has
enough Of one.
That inclination never wants an ex-
